The No. 1 thing circulating in my head regarding Katrina's impact on the community, is how they will impact our city and how their culture will affect ours, .. We gave them a lot, but they came with a lot, not in possessions, but in their hearts, and their souls and their culture. I want people to see our new neighbors as new assets to our community. This will be great for our city. (Quote by - Beverly Williams)
Steel was so big here, and steel was so important for so long, that the region never had the need to develop the culture of personal entrepreneurship that comes so naturally to many communities on the West Coast. Business in Pittsburgh meant 'Big Business,' and 'Big Business' was the job of men who went downtown in the morning and ran the world. .. There's a CEO mentality to Pittsburgh, not an entrepreneurial culture. And I think that the mentality holds the region back economically. (Quote by - Michael Madison)
The culture around here is much less cutthroat than it is in, say, Silicon Valley, or even within the non-profit culture in D.C.. (Quote by - Ethan Zuckerman)
Based on our fieldwork, we have found that almost all the features of traditional cliff cave dwelling coincide with modern sustainable design principles. These cave dwellings reflect a core concept of Chinese culture?being in harmony with nature. They are the result of a people's adaptation to their environment with limited natural and technological resources. The people and their culture survived here for hundreds of years without leaving heavy marks on the environment. (Quote by - Jiang Lu)
Another special thing about our bridal show is that we are incorporating cultural wedding traditions into our activities. Greek, African, Pacific Islander, Jewish, Asian and Hispanic cultures will be showcased, because they are traditions that can be shared by all cultures. You don't have to be a member of the African American community to jump over a broom. (Quote by - Florence Belcher)
No great, inspiring culture of the future can be built upon the moral principle of relativism. For at its bottom such a culture holds that nothing is better than anything else, and that all things are in themselves equally meaningless. Except for the fragments of faith (in progress, in compassion, in conscience, in hope) to which it still clings, illegitimately, such a culture teaches every one of its children that life is a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing. (Quote by - Michael Novak)
And two, boys in this culture, and in all cultures all around the world, one of the most humbling things in the world is to be beaten by a girl, or a woman, in anything. I think he articulated that. (Quote by - Martha Burk)
Managers can't manage diverse cultures successfully until they understand what culture is and know their own culture. (Quote by - Romie Littrell)
Your character is depend on your culture and your friendship. (Quote by - Ankur Patel)
There is a Canadian culture that is in some ways unique to Canada, but I don't think Canadian culture coincides neatly with borders. (Quote by - Stephen Harper)
One is that it could have been inspired by Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, which exploited Native-American culture. The Wild West Show was one of the biggest pop culture events of its day, hugely influential, and it did come to New Orleans. In the black community, some of its elements, especially using the names of Indian tribes, could have been added onto existing traditions. (Quote by - Ben Sandmel)
The end of culture is right living. (Quote by - W. Somerset Maugham)
Taking stock of the factors people think are crucial to being an American might be instructive if only to offer a glimpse of the cultural values that Americans ascribe to their culture. The report represents the public's tension between celebrating cultural diversity and encouraging immigrant groups to 'blend in.' One person's display of cultural pride is another person's refusal to culturally assimilate. (Quote by - Kareem Crayton)
This was really interesting. They?re like walking history books. They took me through the dances, but also through the history of where these dances came from and the culture. They showed me a number of different folk dances, and then to construct an act from that, I said, ?Let?s take this from this one and this from that one,? and they said, ?no, no, we can?t do that. It?s not part of our culture.? It?s like taking two things that don?t fit together. So we examined different ways of doing that, and we found a way. Then in the end, they saw it and were like, ?Wow. It really works.? They felt like they were creating their own cultural dances. It?s amazing to watch those kinds of things happen in front of their eyes. (Quote by - Michael Montanaro)
It's good to not just live inside your own little box. Even though I want her to embrace her Asian culture, I want her to also embrace all cultures. I don't want her to identify herself solely as an Asian person. The world is a segregated world, but we're all the same, we're all God's children. (Quote by - Kim Gray)
Our cultural tourism industry was a $9 billion industry in the state before the storms hit. We led the nation in utilizing our culture. (Quote by - Gerard Perron)
France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster. (Quote by - Johnny Depp)
Culture, with us, ends in headache. (Quote by - Ralph Waldo Emerson)
The biggest challenge in embracing a new culture is letting go of my previous values and welcoming new ones. Acceptance of another culture involves curiosity and taking risks. (Quote by - John Soka)
Judaism is a civilization. It has history, culture, literature. It has jokes, .. Part of any civilization is its religious beliefs, and so part of Judaism is the religion of the Jew, but they are not the same thing. We're looking at the ways in which a person who is Jewish by birth, civilization, culture, context and family may look at things differently from the way a person who is Catholic and lives down the road may see them. (Quote by - Charles Isbell)
If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance. (Quote by - Pablo Picasso)
It raises questions about our culture. Sometimes things are percolating through our lives and it's hard to make sense of them. Because it's not an event, it is something that happens culturally. (Quote by - Steve Pierce)
What "multiculturalism" boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture - and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture. (Quote by - Thomas Sowell)
I think that's always how it's been, .. I certainly didn't invent it. Look at the people who are kind of the funniest cultures, they're the cultures of the people who have been the most oppressed, black people and Jews. Not that they're the only funny people, but culturally, it comes from the pain, you know?. (Quote by - Sarah Silverman)
Perfection will never truly complete without efforts to improve ourself in achieving the highest culture and civilization. (Quote by - )
